Thrifting Again

The weather here has been pretty dreary today with rain and no sun. Not the greatest day to take pics but... I absolutely could not wait to share some of what I found at the Thrift Store today. I had an appointment at the hairdresser this morning so I figured as long as I was out in the rain I might as well stop by my local thrift store. If you didn't see what I found Saturday you need to take a look, it was an awesome score. Naturally I thought today would not stand up to the excitement on Saturday. Boy was I wrong!
Keep in mind the lighting is awful, but check this beauty out. 

This is a larger pic.. I have not measured it yet.. what attracted me to it was the frame and bonus the colors are the same as my room redo.. Aren't those rich looking colors?

The frame is a plastic type of material.. I knew it was older, because I just bought "Pinkie" and "Blue Boy" off eBay in a small frame out of the same material and they were made in the 50's. Here is a closer view.

I just love it.. isn't it beautiful? Such lovely spring looking flowers. 

See the signature? Marion Rice, an American Artist born in 1901. It is a litho.. not real but, I love it just the same.

So should I paint the frame and glaze it? I am not really liking gold these days, but..not sure if I should tamper with it. I would love to have your advice .. It would be gorgeous painted the color of the vase w/ a stain..it would really make the details pop. Hmmmm

I did have some more great finds today but the pics turned out terrible. I also got some stuff for Mom's house, she is wanting a redo.. When the weather breaks I will be getting some pics of the rest of my junk treasures and the stuff I got for Mom.

Thanks so much for stopping by.. I am loving your comments, stories and advice.. I love

learning about you guys.

My New Thrift Loot

My Mom decided she wanted to decorate her house with a new look. Of course my first idea was to head to the local thrift store. I scored but she was not interested at all.. However, I did talk her into a couple of beautiful pictures of clipper ships.. of course she wants me to paint the frames. In spite of her lack of enthusiasm  I had a good day.

First I wanted to show you this vintage baby scale I found a few weeks ago.. isn't it the cutest? I bought it for my daughter who is a photographer.. she loved it!

I love the little graphics on it.

So back to this trip.. bunnies!

Cute for $1 .. 

and another $1.00 bunny.. I can never have too many

bunnies

Won't he be cute with an egg in his wagon?

Avon stamped on the bottom.

Now... for finer things

Haven't polished this yet but I can tell it will turn out beautiful.. Sheridan silver.. I had really wanted one of these. I got the boat and the tray for $5. Not bad.

There may be a spot or two that I will have to work hard on.. it seems more like tarnish since it came off on my hand, but I will still like it if it is worn some.

Now, saved the best for last.. I love this!

Can you tell what it is?

Do you know what it is yet?

Yet?

I love the detail.

A butter dish! Now I know it may not polish perfect.. I see some areas..but I think it is wonderful. I am so excited... my Mom not so much.. I will say she always likes my finds after they are cleaned and shined.. Mom, gotta get your hands dirty and dig for treasures. I know all you treasure hunters out there know what I mean.. I absolutely love the hunt.. I know you do too.. Thanks for stopping by. Oh yeah Mom ended up buying new stuff.. to each his own. I like my old stuff better.

Would love for you to leave me a note that you stopped in.. any information you might have about the butter dish I would love... It was not marked. 

Have a great weekend!

Whooo lots of parties and pretty things to see this weekend!
